Awww Mikey, I think about you often, on Garden of the Gods by the building we all worked so hard to create. On Nevada passing Murphy’s and Ed’s house- what fun times we all had together.
Hope the ice and the birds are great on the other side of the veil!
Miss you my friend!

My sympathy and prayers to Mike's family. I considered Mike a good trusted friend. I always appeciated the pheasant feathers he would bring me. Working and celebrating life with him during the Craddock years will always be fond memories. Thanks Mikey!

We were saddened to hear about Mike's death. Marty and Mick enjoyed working for Mike at Village Interiors all those years. He was a good friend and employer.
Our deepest sympathy to Amanda and the rest of the family.

Mike lived life at full throttle, born to be wild, able to dodge every mishap by a hair plug. I feel fortunate to have been a friend who exposed my life to a merry go round of mischief and mayhem during our years of softball and of course, road trips. You could not find a more kindhearted man in times of need. Rest in Peace!

I always looked foward to seeing Mike and hearing stories that could never be bested. Thanks for the fond memories at Village Commercial, and at my dads place.

Mike left us all too soon. That great smile, mischievous gleam in his eyes and the often heard chuckle will all be missed. I'll fondly remember pushing the airstream up to the Eisenhower tunnel. Mike, Amanda and Pat....you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Mike… You were a hell of hockey player, colossal at broomball and a very good friend. Hope you find that “frozen lake with smooth ice”. Have a great skate…
